Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality
Chapter 24 The Old Taoist
As disciples of a sect with a century-old tradition, no one understands the meaning and power of the word 'Grandmaster' better than them!
As the saying goes: The realm of a grandmaster is the pinnacle of martial arts.
A martial artist who has reached this level of cultivation is already comparable to a superhuman being!
Even a martial artist who has just entered the Grandmaster realm, when unleashing their full power, is capable of easily destroying a medium-sized city single-handedly!
It was precisely because Grandmasters possessed such unparalleled destructive power and lethality that the Great Qian Dynasty, when it sought to dominate the world, took a firm stance and established a treaty with various martial arts sects stipulating that "Grandmasters must not intervene unless it is a matter of life and death."
Faced with the well-trained million-strong army of the Great Qian Dynasty and the eight Grandmaster-level experts on the surface, the various sects, which were in a critical period, had no choice but to compromise.
This is also the main reason why Grandmaster-level experts have either gone into seclusion or retired over the past few decades and have not reappeared.
Now, these two brothers have actually found traces of what appears to be the work of a Grandmaster in this small town of Qingyang. How could they not be shocked!
"If the person who made the move is indeed a grandmaster, then is the story of the immortal's blessing circulating in Qingyang Town related to this grandmaster?" Che Zhanhong speculated.
Tong Mu pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps. After all, neither of us has ever seen a true Grandmaster, and we know nothing about the methods of such beings. But the matter of the Immortal bestowing blessings should not be unfounded. Even if it wasn't done by that Grandmaster, it must be more or less related to him."
Che Zhanhong nodded thoughtfully.
Tong Mu then solemnly said, "This matter is of great importance. We must return to the sect immediately and report our discovery to the sect leader!"
“Senior Brother Tong is right!” Che Zhanhong nodded in agreement, then said with a solemn expression, “I think I saw the Left Chancellor in town yesterday. I wonder if he came here because of this matter!”
Tong Mu pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The Left Chancellor's appearance here is probably just a coincidence. The Luoxia Sect is a hundred miles away from here; the news couldn't possibly have spread this fast!"
Although the story of the immortals bestowing blessings is widely circulated, it has been distorted beyond recognition through repeated dissemination and alteration, becoming a popular folktale. Since there are many similar stories in the martial arts world, it is not enough to attract the attention and importance of the major sects.
However, to be on the safe side, Tong Mu left Qingyang Town with Che Zhanhong as soon as possible and rushed back to Wenjian Sect.
……
Since Jiang Yuchuan dealt with the two Northwest Heroes in a 'respectable' manner, no one has dared to cause trouble in Qingyang Town again.
After this incident, anyone with discerning eyes could see that there was likely a mysterious master in Qingyang Town. So, even if they didn't have the insight of Tong Mu and Che Zhanhong to deduce so much, it was enough for them to take this as a warning.
Fortunately, the excitement and turmoil did not last long. After about a month, the number of people coming and going in the town gradually decreased, and things slowly returned to normal.
During this month, Qi Changqing finally succeeded in cultivating the "Eternal Spring Skill" to the second level through persistent efforts and condensed internal energy in his dantian.
This breakthrough kept Qi Changqing so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.
He remembered Mr. Zeng telling him that once one cultivates internal energy in the dantian, one can be considered a second-rate martial artist!
More importantly, once he develops internal energy, he can go into the mountains with his master to gather herbs!
The next morning, Qi Changqing rushed to the courtyard and immediately told Jiang Yuchuan the good news.
Jiang Yuchuan was not surprised at all that Qi Changqing had cultivated internal energy.
Eating food soaked in the spiritual spring every day and having him carefully teach you, even a pig could learn to fly, let alone a human.
However, although Jiang Yuchuan thought this way, he still praised Qi Changqing outwardly.
Although he had never taken on any disciples in his previous life, he had guided the younger generation in the sect in their cultivation. Therefore, he was not without experience in this area and had his own insights.
Strict guidance, coupled with appropriate praise and space for reflection, can sometimes achieve twice the result with half the effort.
However, simply cultivating internal energy is not enough; martial arts skills are essential for self-defense.
However, in order not to put the cart before the horse and affect the progress of medical learning, Jiang Yuchuan only taught Qi Changqing some very basic but very practical martial arts skills this time.
Qi Changqing learned very quickly. In just half a month, he mastered all the skills taught by Jiang Yuchuan and was able to execute them skillfully.
At this time, the vegetation on Daqingshan Mountain has begun to revive, and from a distance, it is a lush green expanse.
The medicinal herbs in Jiang Yuchuan's spiritual pearl were already almost gone, and with the expansion of the medicinal field, it seemed even more empty.
He had been eagerly anticipating entering the Daqingshan Mountains to fill his medicinal herb fields!
Now that the time was right, Jiang Yuchuan naturally refused to wait any longer. On a clear and sunny morning, he took Qi Changqing and plunged into the Daqingshan Mountains.
This was Qi Changqing's first time entering Daqingshan, and he was both excited and curious.
This time, because Qi Changqing was with them, Jiang Yuchuan deliberately slowed down his pace when entering the mountains.
During the harvesting process, Jiang Yuchuan rarely took action himself. He left most of the herbs to Qi Changqing to handle and dig. He would only personally take action when he encountered those that were extremely precious, ancient, or grew in dangerous areas.
This can also be seen as another test for Qi Changqing.
Qi Changqing naturally noticed this as well, and therefore became extra careful and meticulous in the process of searching for and collecting herbs.
But this was his first time going into the mountains to collect herbs, and no matter how careful he was, there were bound to be oversights and mistakes.
At this point, Jiang Yuchuan would step forward, point out the medicinal herbs that Qi Changqing had overlooked and the mistakes he made while collecting the herbs, and provide correct guidance.
Qi Changqing studied very diligently and did not disappoint Jiang Yuchuan's expectations. In just half a day, he became completely accustomed to the surrounding environment and mastered the techniques and skills of collecting herbs. There were no more instances of missing or damaging herbs.
And so, the two stayed in the mountains for more than ten days.
Jiang Yuchuan only left after he had planted most of the twenty-four medicinal fields in the Spirit Pearl and filled all the bamboo baskets on his and Qi Changqing's backs.
For Qi Changqing, the past ten days of living a life of hardship and sleeping outdoors was a completely new and exciting experience. He did not feel any discomfort or hardship at all; on the contrary, he enjoyed it immensely and was completely immersed in it.
Jiang Yuchuan witnessed all of this and finally couldn't help but sigh: This child should study medicine!
When the two returned to town, it was already sunset.
Considering that Qi Changqing was still a child, and that he would be in the mountains for more than ten days, Sun Ying, as his mother, must be very worried. So she told Qi Changqing to put down his bamboo basket and go home first, so that he wouldn't have to come to the courtyard with her again.
On his way back to the courtyard, Jiang Yuchuan encountered several villagers from the town. When they saw that Jiang Yuchuan was carrying two bamboo baskets full of herbs, they all smiled and came up to greet him.
Jiang Yuchuan responded to the villagers' enthusiasm with a smile.
Just then, an old Taoist priest with white hair and a youthful face, dressed in a blue-gray Taoist robe, sitting cross-legged by the roadside and meditating with his eyes closed, appeared in Jiang Yuchuan's line of sight.
The old Taoist priest had a square white cloth spread out in front of him. In the center of the cloth was a Tai Chi Bagua pattern. To the left of the pattern was written "One divination a day", to the right was written "Ten gold coins per divination", and above was written "No money allowed".
Of course, if this old Taoist priest were just an ordinary itinerant sorcerer, Jiang Yuchuan wouldn't have given him a second glance.
What truly attracted Jiang Yuchuan's attention was the aura surrounding the old Taoist priest and the surging internal energy within him, which was as powerful as a river!
